Pick:  Clemson +13.5

Final Score Prediction:  Texas 20, Clemson 17

• Texas has struggled in the redzone recently, ranking 108 of 134 in red zone scoring since mid-October
• Quinn Ewers is a good QB, and has a future in the NFL, but going against a good Clemson defense that ranks #33 in sacks and #23 in interceptions
• Clemson has covered the first half spread in 5 of its last 7 road games
• No one expected Clemson to be here, meanwhile Texas has National Championship aspirations – pressure is on the Horns
• Expect the Texas defense (#3 overall) to play well, and hold Clemson to a low number – Sark may get conservative with a lead to avoid mistakes
